Window Boxes Guys! July is the craziest month for me, I know I haven’t blogged in like 2 weeks, I know I’ve had photos sitting on my camera for nearly as long.

The flowering Hydrangea tree I planted this spring turned out to be a good idea! It’s just starting to flower and it looks so pretty in the backyard. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a summer flower with height :) All grown from Seed Both these Impatiens and Petunias were all sowed indoors! Impatiens Strawberry & Cream Hydrangea This is that Hydrangea tree I was talking about. The flower should turn pink later in the summer and they will stay blooming into the early fall.
